Not quite true.  I'm using loadhi on a 286 machine now, but it requires
an expanded memory board with HARDWARE SUPPORT for LIM 4.0.  Many 
expanded memory boards only have partial support for LIM 4.0.  At my local
Fry's Electronics, the boards without the necessary support were $80-100.
The one board they had which would create "HI RAM" was $195.  We needed
the hi memory and the board was cheaper than buying a new computer, so....
It's working fine using LOADHI on a network.
